Mielle formerly Organics- Toxic Ingredients Exposed | Hairloss Lawsuits & More

[@TheSharna23]

I’ve watched several videos about the recent claims against Mielle, and most are just a commentary or review. This is the first time I’m seeing a detailed breakdown of the actual ingredients and how they can be harmful. Excellent work! I’ve only used a moisturizer/hair milk from this company (few years ago), and don’t remember any issues. I’ve considered trying a conditioner, but now I know I’ll be steering clear altogether.

[@basiqueopulence888]

Thank you for chiming in & taking the time to watch. I realize it’s a bit of a long vid. I’m that rare creative person that limelight’s as a science head lol so it’s always been important to me to understand how things work. Knowing all this of course presents unique challenges in the professional space when one aims to do the most good and least harm in their work. I’m happy to know you didn’t experience any issues as there has been confirmed revelations of ingredient and label changes despite the former owners recent public claims. Excellent choice to opt for another brand after seeing this because like ancestor Maya Angelou said “ when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” These brands can use cleaner ingredients if they truly cared about our health more than their profit margins. They’d still make money just not as much. Blessings to you on your journey 💛

[@OrealeXO]

I COMPLETLY forgot that “organics” used to be in the name! They took that off of all their products and the fact that they were no longer organic flew under the radar🤯

[@basiqueopulence888]

That got by me too because it’s been soo long since I used any of their products so I didn’t even realize it changed until all this hair loss stuff started kicking up! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@riewo]

They were probably never certified organic, so they would be required to remove any mention of organic to avoid a fine from the National Organic Program(NOP).

[@suzanneaubin7599]

I had an episode with Sheamoisture with a changed formula to one of my favourite shampoos (JBCO). They added a polyquat-10, and it was drying my curls, it wasn’t curling, and breakage!! I’m using a mix of Camille Rose, Skala, and Lola from Rio now. Still using a cowash from As I am. But I’m moving away ftom them as I find other products that come in a larger quantity for my long hair.

[@basiqueopulence888]

@suzanneaubin7599 I’m glad you noticed the change and moved away from that shampoo. Polyquats are bad business! When you start examining ingredient labels you’ll notice similar ingredients across different brands. It’s those common core base ingredients that are slowly doing the damage which leaves consumers hopping from product to product THAT ALL CONTAIN SOME OF THE SAME INGREDIENTS. The best move is away from those that contain harmful toxic ingredients. I have several recommendations in my ebook. Link in the description. I just watched a video of a creator stating it’s common for lawsuits to be filed against hair companies. That is true but what she isn’t considering is the other common thing - THE INGREDIENTS!

[@PrismaDream]

I feel attacked and genuinely sad at this moment. I never use drugstore products but took a chance on this. Started using it 5-6 weeks ago and my hair has been falling out in chunks in the shower. I want to cry. I cut my hair 3 weeks ago because I really thought it was me and I was afraid that I was somehow ill. I have been expressing concerns to my partner. After discovering this I threw all their products in the trash. I regret straying from my home made natural products so deeply. Please spread the word and thank you so so so much for this video!

[@basiqueopulence888]

I'm soo very sad to hear you've been affected by these products. Always trust your body when it signals you something is wrong. If the only thing you changed was introducing these products then they are the problem for where your unique body chemistry is. It's heartbreaking and upsetting because most of us have no idea hair products contain such toxins and can cause these types of problems. I recommend avoiding all known toxins as much as possible in favor of a holistic lifestyle because you never know when your system hits overload and starts to display symptoms from hair loss to cancer. The good news is when you remove the toxins the body will go into repair mode. I'm happy you've found the video helpful in connecting the dots for you. I offer some truly safe brands in my ebook for those who want options in addition to DIY. Blessings to you on your journey!

[@Born2BFly]

Mielle hasn’t been 💯 organic since at least 2019. That is when I stopped using it because it was causing extreme itching and dry roots. I noticed then that they had taken the “organic” moniker off their products and it was just “Mielle” that’s when I figured they either changed ingredients or sold the company. My hair thinned at the crow and I haven’t used it since.

[@basiqueopulence888]

You know I believe you’re right about this because this is around the time I also parted ways with them and stopped recommending them to my clients as I noticed some undesirable ingredients creeping in. I know the ingredients were changing prior to this sale / acquisition by P & G in Jan 2023. Hopefully your hair has recovered since then 🤗

IIRC, a lot of the straight haired ladies who jumped on the mielle oil trend started reporting that their hair was falling out in clumps and they received comments telling them that it was because the oil wasn't made for them, but turns out, it was actually bad for everybody, just took longer to show effects for curlies 🤔

[@basiqueopulence888]

I do shed a lot normally but this is way more than usual.

Glad you found this video to put your concerns over your ethnicity being a factor to rest. Social media can be a very hostile place filled with a plethora of bogus information. I assure you that has nothing to do with it. When it comes to body chemistry and toxicity it’s just a matter of exposure levels and time before symptoms will arise.

It’s so interesting how products work differently on people. I was loosing my hair due to health issues when I purchased this rosemary oil. I cut it down to a pixie and started using this rosemary oil. My hair flourished so much and so quickly that I had to keep cutting it down to keep it looking nice.

[@basiqueopulence888]

Yes body chemistry is a very unique and varied thing. Which makes it automatically faulty for scientists to determine a generally recognized as safe dose that is accurate for everyone. I’m happy to hear you experienced no issues. I love and prefer all natural organic products but that Soybean oil in the Mielle oil for me is a no go because I know how contaminated inorganic US grown soy products are. I make my own products and don’t work with Soybean oil at all. May your hair continue to thrive!

[@sheh.9163]

My hair grew like 6 inches in 6 months after I used the rosemary mint strenghthing oil which is above and beyond for me . I’ve been natural for years and never experienced that amount growth and retention so I’m hoping I don’t start having a bad reaction 🤞🏾

[@basiqueopulence888]

I hope all remains well for you, too! Your experience says to me that overall your body toxicity levels are lower than others who’ve had negative reactions. And your skin sensitivity is lower which work in your favor. Stay safe out here 🌻

[@drhuggz]

The problem is we view any issues we experience in isolation and think it's our own problem and not caused by any specific product especially when the advertising says something to the contrary. My daughter had a lot of hair loss and itchy flaky scalp after using the shampoo but her hair is sensitive so we put it down to that. I had issues but nothing severe. However i was discontent with the performance and when the issues became apparent by other users i promptly binned it! Thank goodness for posts like this and social media in general to get the message out!

[@basiqueopulence888]

You’re absolutely right on the thinking it’s us vs the product initially and I think that comes from not having the knowledge of how harmful ingredients common personal care ingredients can be. I’m happy you found the video helpful and hope you and baby girls hair is on the mend. ❤️‍🩹

This is horrifying. I hope more people see this video. Most people aren’t going in depth on the ingredients, formulations, and effects. I’ve used the brand on and off for years and I never noticed they took the word organics out. I haven’t had any issues, but not I will not buy from them anymore. When these changes to the formulation happen these people should make a clear announcement.

[@basiqueopulence888]

It's certainly is horrifying. Most of us don't realize the ingredients in lots of our personal care products can cause harm over time because they are toxic. All natural is always best when you can get it because then the major concern is allergies when properly formulated vs all this other stuff, next is a fusion of natural and safe synthetics. I'm happy to know you haven't had any issues as is the case for many people as well. When evaluating products I am looking at not only the presence of toxic ingredients but also how many harmful ingredients per product are present and Mielle ranks very high risk. There are soo many of our black owned brands I could not put on my recommended products list in the ebook for this reason. These brands announce nothing ever when it comes to formulation changes so we have to truly look at labels with each purchase to know what we're getting. Thank you for watching & chiming in.

Yes to everything you said in this video. Natural ingredients can help improve the condition of the hair. Also, good point you made about the soybean oil and how it's grown can have traces of that in the oil itself. The *quality* of the natural ingredient included *matters* in the formulations.

Thanks for watching & taking a moment to comment. Yes, natural aka organic in chemistry ingredients are in fact the only ingredients that can permanently repair and improve the condition of hair.

How the plants are grown absolutely matter and anything GMO is automatic bad business for our health & the planet.

thank you for being here and sharing the story of the biblical Israelite women. Whether one identifies as that or not no one can deny that it is clear that God by whatever name you call it is not pleased when we opt for Man's creations ( toxic products, relaxers, perms, wigs, weaves, extension abuse) over God's. The products that exponentially harm are not NATURAL (barring allergies & concentration errors) not made by NATURE - an extension of God/ The Creator of ALL & not compatible with our divine natural biochemical composition. Making one's own natural products is an option I wish more of us would explore when we are unable to obtain truly organic natural products. I recommend a few brands in my ebook that are top tier and getting it right but we absolutely need more or to become home holistic hair mixtresses. natural hair = natural products for highest health.

Thank you for this information. My hair texture did start to change after using the rosemary mint oil. I did not know what was going on.

[@basiqueopulence888]

I'm glad you found the video informative. Always listen to your body, in this case hair & scalp, when things change. It knows best what is good or not for it. If you need safe & healthy product recommendations for your hair type my ebook is an excellent resource or would prefer a consultation my links are in the description. Blessings to you on your journey!

When I first came upon Mielle, and the line was getting the most hype from off of influencers and individuals that were celebrity friends. I chose to try out a few products, out of curiousity, even though I knew that the line was started by someone who had a medical background on the nursing field. But, I take full responsibility for choosing to give the few lines that I did buy from the line a try. I came to understand that the line is based off of “hype”. Also, there was nothing within the products that were very impressive overall. I only liked the Avocado Moisturizing Hair Milk that they offer, which is apart of their original collection of products initially launched. I am referring to the original version of that product only. But, I eventually moved on from the line, and didn’t have it on my radar to even care to buy products from the line anymore, until they launched their Sea Moss Collection. I chose to try a few other products from the line, hoping that I would actually be more impressed this 2nd time around. I bought their Rosemary Mint Styling Creme, Rosemary Mint Drops, reformulate version of their Avocado Hair Milk, and their Honey &’Ginger Edge Control again, after things with it going rancid after a short while W’s supposed to have been fully resolved. I will say, Mielle is not getting a 3rd chance from me. Not very impressed at all with the line. Doesn’t live up to the hype. The ones that honestly made this line super popular and misled others into believing that it is truly a line that will be absolutely life-changing for one’s natural hair are the ones celebrity friends and the paid influencers. I have walked completely away from entertaining these influencers promoting a whole bunch of stuff that isn’t needed. These people care more about their pockets and the free stuff and money they get from these brands and the attention and exposure, than the overall safety of the products that they are promoting to the public in general and not caring about the harmful side effects to one’s health that a lot of these hair care products have done and are still doing, Also the original name being Mielle Organics was something that I couldn’t understand how it was allowed to get away with on the 1st pls e, because one of the products are certified organic, and putting a level of herbal ingredients into a product doesn’t automatically make a product organic either. Truthfully is there a major difference with Mielle’s products that what was already out there on the market before their products started being sold to the masses? No. The same can be said about these celebrity hair care lines, because their no better as well. Oh, and complaints against Mielle had been rolling in before the owner of Mielle ever sold their company. However, it is up to all of us consumers to throughly research a product deeply before buying it. Because, one’s health is at stake. Either you choose to deeply value your health 1st and foremost or following these influencers and buying a ton of hair care products filled with toxic ingredients that should be avoided at all costs. Plus, it is up to consumers to gain professional expertise on how to best take care and manage both their hair and scalp’s environment in order for healthy hair growth to be achieved and successfully retained, so that one can see their hair thrive at it’s maximum potential. No one should ever put their everything into a hair care line, if you don’t know how to properly maimed your hair and scalp in the best way over overall. Much good luck to all on their healthy hair journeys! I sincerely mean that from the heart ❤️!

Thank you for sharing this! It’s an unfortunate reality that we live in a world where agencies that claim to their function is protect consumers do not leaving the consumer to protect themselves. May we see a day where more of us place a higher value on our health preventing these outcomes and hampering the business of companies that offer products that harm our health. Continued blessings to you 💛

Thoughout the great promotion for this product, I just kept looking at this product, but something was saying to me, leave it alone, I make my own mixers now, I'm very happy, I am a recovering CCCA.

[@basiqueopulence888]

Intuition will save you every single time! I’m a huge proponent of do it yourself mixes as they tend to have none of what our hair, scalp and body system don’t need and are more beneficial than most store bought products. Happy to hear you are recovering from CCCA. Do reach out if I can be of assistance to you.

[@heavysex2359]

I am losing hair from the root since using the product. I just stopped 4 weeks ago and still losing hair. This week I did a deep conditioning and I hope tbis will help to stop it from falling out

[@basiqueopulence888]

@heavysex2359 I’m soo sorry to hear this. Discontinuing use of the product will definitely begin the healing process. Your scalp and body will balance out soon so long as no more irritants are used in the meantime. I recommend truly safe products by hair type in my ebook and provide a list of ingredients to avoid in hair products so you’re safe no matter which brand you chose.

[@CircumstancesNeverMatter]

Being greedy and cutting corners results in losing customers perhaps the founder shouldn’t have stepped away so much. There’s a brand called Huda Beauty and the original person who created the brand stepped down as CEO then the company started suffering and she took her seat back. Maybe that’s what the founder of Mielle should do. Who knows? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@basiqueopulence888]

greed is definitely a killer of altruism if it was ever present. At this point Mielle would have to buy back the company from P & G and I don't see them making that deal with her. smh...

make your own hair oil thats terrible they did that. its more expensive anyway to buy it.

[@basiqueopulence888]

I’m glad you came across this video. Even in peri-menopause it’s possible to have products that meet our needs and solve for the changes our body is experiencing. Look into Yadain Cultural Solutions they are a truly clean brand. Alikay naturals is also good but select products have ingredients I avoid though you may be ok with them.

You’re welcome! See if you can return the oil. Also Alikay Naturals is cleaner than Mielle utilizing less toxic ingredients overall in the products and her hair growth oil is much better formulated. She can usually be found at Target & select beauty supplies. But the two I mentioned above don’t have any toxic ingredients. Blessings to you on your journey.

People should begin to accept their hair as it is, and stop straightening it.

[@basiqueopulence888]

Thank you for watching & chiming in. While I do believe everyone is better off accepting their own natural hair I leave room for non damaging heat straightening to be in the mix. The problem for me when it comes to wearing straight hair is toxic chemical exposure via relaxers, Brazilian blowout type services or permanently damaging your natural hair with high heat abuse. When we start doing harm to ourselves for a hair style (or any reason) we really have to stop and look at that.

[@leilaluster2788]

🙋🏽‍♀️GO BACK TO GREASE AND WATER💃🏼💅👍

[@basiqueopulence888]

@leilaluster2788 arguably grease is safer than some of these products that contain multiple toxins vs just the base itself of petroleum and oftentimes fragrance I’m not a proponent of grease due to its inability to nourish hair and skin and increased skin cancer associations. But unrefined butters and water are a top tier alternative that not only lubricates hair and skin like grease aka colored scented Vaseline while assisting in slowing moisture evaporation like grease but they also provide nutrients for hair and skin that strengthen and soften them among other things without the health risks. Less is more and all natural is best. Thank you for chiming in. 🌱
